This First World War poster was created by the United States Government Food Administration to advocate for conservation of food resources for overseas allies. It depicts an image of a soldier seated in a trench, holding a mug and staring out at the viewer, reminding the home front of the wartime necessity of rationing. The poster's artist, Wallace Morgan, was born and raised in New York City, where his father was an art instructor. Morgan spent six years attending art classes at the national academy before working as staff artist for several New York newspapers during his twenties. When the United States joined the war in 1917, he served in the AEF (American Expeditionary Force) as an official artist. He worked alongside Charles Dana Gibson, Jack Sheridan and C.B. Falls to record battles, generals and the day-to-day routine of troops. Wallace Morgan; artist; 1918; United States, United States Food Administration; publisher; 1918; United States.
